.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / May 2005MFC applications and Visual C++'s newer editions
Hello. When it comes to Win32, Visual Studio .NET 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 only allows the creation of console-based applications. What if one wanted to create MFC-based applications and, at the same time, be able to take advantage of the powerful and conforming C++ compiler that comes with the package? I hope that resorting to Visual C++ 6.0 is not the only option. Thank you,  SignatureNey André de Mello Zunino > Hello. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thank you, As far as I know, you will need the retail version to produce MFC applications not the Express edition.

Considering a system which has both Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 installed, would it be feasible (and simple) to arrange things so that MFC applications could be built from the newer development tool? Are there any gotchas of which I should be aware?

MFC as of .NET uses a much more detailed self parser, eliminating things like special comments required in message maps etc. If you need to make MFC, use 2003 or 2005 normal version (with MFC) Signature- Mark Randall http://zetech.swehli.com >> Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition or above (but NOT express edition) >> includes MFC.

What if one You can still create normal win32 applications by doing #include <windows.h> and going from there. Although I dont know if the Express edition actually includes the header files or if you have to download them seperatly (i.e. Platform SDK) >> When it comes to Win32, Visual Studio .NET 2005 Express Edition Beta >> 2 only allows the creation of console-based applications.
